5. E-Media Fast
Here are the official ground rules for the first annual E-Media Fast. Practice run: Starting today at 5:00 PM the challenge begins. The practice run will end at 6:00 am tomorrow morning. So for the next several hours you will not enjoy the “benefits” of the following:
- Television
- Radio
- Computer
- Internet
- Ipod (or any music player)
- Any handheld computer
- Game consoles (xbox, xbox360, Atari 2600, Pong, PS2, Intellivision, ColecoVision, etc.)
- Portable game players
- Cell phones (You may only use your cell phone to talk to your parents—anyone else and you have failed the challenge.)
Notes:
You may access the computer to take care of all school-related responsibilities. Also, tonight only feel free to email me any questions you may have. Other questions can be answered tomorrow at school.
We are playing by the HONOR CODE. I am operating under the assumption that all of you will be truthful throughout this experience.
I expect everyone to give this challenge a shot. No opting out… Really guys, have fun with this. Let’s try and get back to reading books, writing, engaging in outdoor activities, talking to each other…If only for a little while. The TV, Internet, video games, etc. will still be there waiting on tomorrow night.
